Allison Hunt Gets (a new) Hip

http://www.ted.com/talks/allison_hunt_gets_a_new_hip.html

It's Friday and it's been a long week so today I'm highlighting a brief and humourous TED Talk by fellow Canadian Allison Hunt.

Allison uses her pain and her ingenuity to get to the front of the line in our Canadian health care system.

Now, word on the street was that it was actually my volunteering that got me to the front of the line. And you know, I'm not even ashamed of that. Two reasons. First of all, I am going to take such good care of this new hip. But also, I intend to stick with the volunteering, which actually leads me to the biggest epiphany of them all. Even when a Canadian cheats the system, they do it in a way that benefits society.

Humourous yet sad and true.

Hope your having a fantastic Friday!

John
